IF ANIMALS KISSED GOOD NIGHT

Illustrated by David Walker

Straus and Giroux, 2008
ISBN 13: 978-0-374-38051-9

If animals kissed
like we kiss goodnight
Giraffe and his calf
would stretch their necks high
and kiss just beneath
the top of the sky. 
But what about Mama Python and hatchling,
and Seal and his calf?
What about sloth and her cub?

REVIEWS

Kirkus Reviews
“Perfect for capturing the attention of the littlest listeners.  The imaginative possibilities alone make this one stand out.”

Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review
“There are probably not enough synonyms for “cute” to cover this survey of hypotetical smooches between animal parents and offspring. . . . The book exudes the affectionate silliness of a beloved bedtime ritual.”
